This, and I usually pick an army about one week prior to the event.

1. Learn about tourney
2. Start formulating army ideas
3. Invite brother and friend to tourney
4. Friend asks me to build him an army
5. Start formulating more army ideas
6. Settle on army cores
7. Agonise for months over how to fill out the rest of the armies so that they can handle everything that I think they might face
8. A couple days of play-testing/familiarizing self with armies, mostly on the map I'm bringing
9. Pack up and head out
10. GAME ON!
11. Talk a lot of smack but end up 3-3
12. Get excited for the next tourney.

Disclaimer: I've only been to one tourney so far, and my second is in less than a month, so this list is a combo of my two-ish tourney experiences so far.

What I do is choose Cyprien, Sonya, and Nilfiem. Then worry about the other 120 points...Shoot! I haven't even figured that out yet.

1) I realize that the store I go to to buy heroscape does not do heroscape tournaments.
2) I enjoy the comfyness of my chair.

1. Find the most synergistic, fun, and least competitive army I can think of the day of the tournament.

2. Play and make incredibly stupid mistakes.

3. Have fun.

4. Come in last place.

5. Bring home a prize.
